been very large, and the lunches have
been well patronized, and with the con.

expected that enough will be realized to
place the funds in highly satisfactory
condition. The music, under the direc-

ExrRADITIoN FROM RUSSIA.
When the Reiehstag reopens. the
Government will be interpolated on the
ukass of the Gar, prohibiting the pur-
chase by foreigners of real property in
the western pro vince of Russia. The
discussion is likely to raise the whole
question of the obnoxious new laws
aiming at the suppression of the Ger
mans residing on Russian landed prop
erty. The ukase rouses more intense
anti. Russian feeling than the increase
of the iron duties, aud the threatened
increase iof the import duties
ON coal. The practical effect will be the
ruin of host of Germans unless they
foreswear their nationality. Foreigners
who are the offspring of foreigners must
after this week, sell their landed prop
erty to the Russians and clear out of
Russian territory. They cannot be sub.
jects.
